Paroles officielles de la chanson "Manhattan"

Summer journeysTo Niag'raAnd to other placesAggravate all our cares.We'll save our fares.I've a cozy little flatIn what is known as old Manhattan.We'll settle downRight here in town.

We'll have Manhattan,The Bronx and StatenIsland too.It's lovely going throughThe zoo.It's very fancyOn old DelanceyStreet, you know.The subway charms us soWhen balmy breezes blowTo and fro.And tell me what streetCompares with Mott StreetIn July?Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by.The great big city's a wondrous toyJust made for a girl and boy.We'll turn ManhattanInto an isle of joy.

We'll go to Greenwich,Where modern men itchTo be free;And Bowling Green you'll seeWith me.We'll bathe at BrightonThe fish you'll frightenWhen you're in.Your bathing suit so thinWill make the shellfish grinFin to fin.I'd like to take aSail on JamaicaBay with you.And fair Canarsie's lakeWe'll view.The city's bustle cannot destroyThe dreams of a girl and boy.We'll turn Manhattan Into an isle of joy.

We'll have Manhattan,The Bronx and StatenIsland too.We'll try to cross'Fifth Avenue.As black as onyxWe'll find the BronnixPark Express.Our Flatbush flat, I guess,Will be a great success,More or less.A short vacationOn Inspiration PointWe'll spend,And in the station house we'll end,But Civic Virtue cannot destroyThe dreams of a girl and boy.We'll turn ManhattanInto an isle of joy!
